The collective EU, and every like-minded multi-cultural entity within leftist media together with the Obama globalist operatives, are now laying a path of rose petals for their wunderkind Emmanuel Macron.

If you seek a reference point for the narrative over the next two weeks simply remind yourself how Barack Obama was elected in 2008. It will be an absolutely identical playbook.

Emmanuel Macron, a 39-year-old who has never held elected office and is married to his former grade school teacher (24-years his elder), is being heralded as the second coming of the halo-clad unicorn-riding progressive lightbringer Emperor Obama as Macron strides boldly up the gilded staircase toward the purchased French Presidency.

All European media are referring to Macron as the next President of France. They lavish praise on his so-called stylish wife (a cradle-robbing cougar at best) hoping her age (63) will make him (39) seem more grown up. They refer to him as an “independent centrist” instead of the socialist patsy he is.

The same pollsters who said Le Pen would not make it to the second round are now saying she will lose in a landslide, projecting that over half the establishment conservatives would vote for Macron! It’s sheer derangement, much like we saw with the Trump election where Hillary was supposed to win in a landslide.

He has already made two or three major blunders. He swept away to where I don’t know I don’t care, surrounded by motor cyclists and jumping all the red lights as if he had won already. Did not go down well. Keeps on putting his wife, who would be in prison if she were a man, she seduced him in after school theatre club forward as his Co president. Then went to a chic left wing brasserie with the old show bizz set. His wife being the youngest there! The very same people who had whined on for 10 years about Sarkozy going to a right wing brasserie AFTER he won. The Wunderkind is not going down well with La France Profonde. Hé needs Fillon’s voters who were Catholic. Lots of devout Catholics in France contrary to what the media tell you.

That, right there, should make everyone think seriously about who they are voting for. If the wifey needs to make her boy-toy seem more grown up — and that’s who wins this election — France is in big trouble

And surprislingly, the NZZ, the Zurich newspaper, did not view this election with unalloyed pleasure. In fact, they called it the Election Disaster for the establishment parties. The Swiss have no problem with bilateral treaties and single subject regional agreements, and even multiple political parties, but they don’t like that candidates from France’s two major parties did not get into the Presidential election. And they don’t like the French primary system. It’s all, so, so… messy. So, un-Swiss.

Zurich has two newspapers: NZZ and the Tagesanzeiger. NZZ is left of center; the other far left of center. They consistently misinterpret non-Swss politics. They are upset that the traditional *leftist* party did not win in the first round.

“A French adaptation for television, translated and written by Jean-Claude Carrière, appeared in 1978. It was also adapted for the stage by the Compagnie Viola Léger in Moncton, New Brunswick,[38] starring Roy Dupuis [39]”

My guess is that they will rig the election the same way it was rigged for Obama did in 2012 and was tried and stopped by the whitehats in the 2016 election. I understand that some of Obama and Hillary’s so called advisors as well as a number of Soros operatives are working for Macron.

WSB I have 5 first cousins that live in France about an hour from Paris. They all went for Marcon. I told my wife that I can no longer feel bad if anything happens to their country or god forbid them. They can celebrate their new Obozo as much as they want. They can say they defeated Trump and nationalism. There is not a doubt in my mind that things will get worse for France under this man’s leadership.

I sleep well at night knowing that our President will do everything humanely possible to save us and our country. That doesn’t mean that things won’t happen. The biggest difference is that his HEART was and is in the right place. This moron is okay with the Devil remaining in their backyard.

The result shows that the French people are very willing to absorb 4-6 terror attacks per year that kill a few hundred people. It’s hasn’t reached a point to elicit a massive push back. As long as it isn’t you or yours …they’re willing to just shrug it off as inconvenience and not deal forcefully with it.

Not really that, William Ford. Only about 43% of the French population voted for the two front runners. 20% voted for LePen. So, let’s not bad-mouth the French until the final election is over. And remember, the US is split about 50-50 right now, too.

Complicit Fake news media presents Macron as an ‘outsider’. Ridiculous.
He is the establishment candidate. Hollande’s second term.
Emmanuel Hollande or Francois Macron, they call him
A scam pulled on the French

I was just reading about them. I’m sorry but I find that a little sick. I also find it awe inspiring (in a bad way) how the press can take a hot for teacher story, and make it seem so normal they could be the first couple of France. I suppose there is no difference if their ages were reversed, and there are plenty of 24 year age differences in marriages but normal, I think not.

There are plenty of 24 year age gaps in marriages. Someone age 35 marrying someone age 59 is hardly robbing the schoolhouse. This was not the case for Macron. According all reports, for over two years, he was a minor teenager under the authority of his adult teacher. Begs the question of what grades did he get for the classes? 20/20? Bet his former classmates have an ‘interesting’ take on how all that went over with them.
So the comparison some posters are promoting just based on the age gap isn’t valid. The issue was the minor status of one of the two, plus the abuse of the authority relationship, so doesn’t matter who was the male and who was the female. The law applies based on age. Even though consent as a defense is waved about, all societies have understood for thousands of years that a minor is easily manipulated by an adult.

It’s Obama as the Persian king Xerxes from the movie 300. The movie is about King Leonidas of Sparta and 300 men holding off the conquering Persians at the Hot Gates or Thermopylae. All Spartans were killed but the Athenian army later defeated Xerxes so he was not able to conquer the Greek city-states. Xerxes is depicted as corrupt.

I expect there is a way. I believe the cap is 4,600 euros, and that if you donate more than 150 euros, you must be publicly identified, your name published. Foreign governments, companies and “legal entities” may not contribute, but it doesn’t look like individual contributions are prohibited. There’s also a deadline date. That’s all I know. Here are the basic regulations:http://www.loc.gov/law/help/campaign-finance/france.php

It’s an attempt to reach moderate voters.
Her party is branded by the media and establishment as racist.
Therefore many people will not vote for Front National
So she has just announced that she steps down as party leader
Surprising and clever move

The run-off is for France, what the general election is to us…..Everyone runs as a centrist in the general, to pick up as much support as they can from the opposing party. This is exactly what Le Pen is doing–distancing herself from her own far-right party.

Charles de Gaulle perhaps said it best: “How can you govern a country that has over 300 types of cheese?” Their form of government (no primary system) assures the perpetuation of a ruling elite. Perhaps it’s time France considered revolution . . . no, wait, strike that notion . . .

But, WSB, we are very grateful for the assistance France provided (monetary and military) during our Revolutionary War against Britain. Sure it was a revenge factor for France but it cost them dearly in the end. From wikipedia:

“By 1763, the French debt acquired to fight in the French and Indian War came to a staggering 1.3 billion livres [I searched and found this – currency of France from 781 to 1794.]. It “set off France’s own fiscal crisis, in which a political brawl over taxation soon became one of the reasons for the French Revolution.”[1] France obtained its revenge against Britain by assisting the Americans; however, it gained little real value and her massive debt severely weakened the government and escalated it towards the French Revolution.[2]”

Funny thing here is that this is presented as if nationalism is on defense. However, the truth of the matter is, globalism is on defense because globalism has already been inserted into international politics. These are not elections to install globalism, these are referendums to stop it.

Honestly, Macron and the globalists have everything to lose and very little to gain. If Le Pen loses, France simply continues down the path of self-destructive globalism with little hope of future change, but if she wins it is a complete paradigm shift in international politics. In politics, staying on offense is everything and the globalists are stuck on defense. Much like in football, they can prevent a score this drive but that’s about it. If they’re successful things temporarily stay the same (until the next drive), if they’re unsuccessful they lose the game.

Globalism is fading fast in the eyes of many and, like toothpaste, once the cat’s out of the bag you can’t put it back in the tube… or something like that! 😉

My experience dealing with the French in Europe and in Canada (this is just dealing with them in business transactions of course) is that a large number are brave, proud people, but they’re outnumbered by pretentious socialists who continually make life choices against their own best interests and then lecture you about how cultured they are. For every French Underground type there might be two who immediately raise the flag of surrender.

Oh my goodness, the picture of bambam as Xerxes from the movie 300 is laughable. bambam has not one thing in common with Xerxes other than (maybe) his place of birth.

I listen to Christian radio and was disappointed this morning hearing the hourly news reporter talk about how “everyone” hopes Macron wins the election because LePen would cause France’s economy to tank — and “…what will happen to their currency?!” Really people? Get a grip and make your own money again, and be glad to get off the teat of the “Euro”pean Union.

Knew I’d hear crap like that on MSM. Guess the local Christian station just buys their news like everyone else does.

Same carp they said about PDJT before a significant number of influential evangelicals and Christian commentators actually spoke to Mr. Trump and started to pay attention to what he was actually saying and writing, rather than the lies the Matrix was trying to ram down everyone’s throats. Pray without ceasing for Le Pen’s big win! She’s no Trump, but she may at least dramatically slow the velocity of France’s and thus EU’s slide into hell.

– Drastically reduce trade with France
– Drastically reduce military co-operation with France
– Give the FN more official recognition than Macron’s admin
– Drop MOAB on Paris after the next terror attack

These are more spite than deal-making so I doubt Trump would do any such things. But I’d love for them to be hinted at unofficially by “sources” in the lead-up to the election.

Interesting: The Socialist Party had the worst showing since 1969. Sez something or other. My grandkidlet it doing a paper on French political systems for the high school United Nations course due next month. We discussed his approach six weeks ago; it will be interesting to see if that has changed. This world becomes more fascinating every day.

It was all a set-up. Macron is Hollande’s pet. All opposition had to be eliminated, e.g. why Fillon, a former prime minister and ‘Mr Boring’, was cloaked in scandal. The PS candidate was also there to be defeated.

Macron is not an independent, centrist candidate.

Someone at CTH posted this link on a later thread. It might be of use to your grandchild:

A majority of France’s employed population work for the state. The rest of the unemployed which is relatively high at 10% I’ve read also depend on the state for social benefits. That leaves a minority with an open mind to vote for LePen. Prayers. As much as I detest the entrenched French socialist system, I pray LePen and her followers will find a way out of the mess. Please pray with me, every day.
